The DLR_School_Labs:

DLR_School_Lab Berlin Surfaces in 3D - how do you produce them? How can the way to school be made safe? GPS via satellite - how fast are we moving and how far have we gone? How do you get electricity from hydrogen? Why are solar cells really like filling stations for electricity? Together we can find the answers to these questions at the DLR_School_Lab Berlin.More (German only)...

DLR_School_Lab BraunschweigWhat are planes going to look like in the future? How can train accidents be avoided? What requirements do air traffic controllers and pilots have to meet? How does a helicopter fly? How can traffic noise be reduced? You can find answers to these and other interesting questions at DLR_School_Lab Braunschweig. For one exciting day you yourselves carry out the research.More (German only)...

DLR_School_Lab BremenHow can someone twist and turn around in space? Why does a feather fall as fast as a hammer on the moon? What are researchers actually looking for on distant planets and asteroids? How do they get there in the first place? And what's happening on the sun right now? At DLR_School_Lab Bremen your spirit of research and discovery can take off into space.More (German only)...

DLR_School_Lab GöttingenHow can an airplane fly? Why does a bridge oscillate? How do tones arise in a mouth organ? When is noise harmful to people? How does a balloon burst? At DLR_School_Lab Göttingen you can get acquainted with the exciting world of aerodynamics and flight physics.More (German only)...

DLR_School_Lab KölnAre comets really just dirty snowballs with tails? How do you purify water with light? How can you put water in a glass under weightless conditions? Where astronauts once underwent flight training, DLR_School_Lab Köln today challenges your spirit of research with many stimulating experiments.More (German only)...

DLR_School_Lab Lampoldshausen/StuttgartWhat are the physical principles behind the world's most powerful machines? How high does a rocket fly, and how fast? How strongly is it accelerated? You yourselves can investigate these and many other subjects from the worlds of aerospace, energy, aviation and transportation at DLR_School_Lab Lampoldshausen/Stuttgart. And while you are doing that you can experience the inspiring atmosphere at one of Germany's largest research centers.More (German only)...

DLR_Project_Lab NeustrelitzHow can invisible radiation be investigated? What is a stereo image and how does it have to be viewed? Why is a rainbow multicolored? Where do the rosy dawn and the redness of the sunset sky come from? How can the energy yield of a solar facility be determined? Why are buoyancy and air drag on objects important when designing cars and planes? You can find answers to these fascinating questions with the help of some interesting experiments at the DLR_Project_Lab Neustrelitz.More (German only)...

DLR_School_Lab OberpfaffenhofenHow can weather and the climate be predicted? How can the invisible be seen? What makes a robot "lively"? How can you do a good job in a flight simulator? Those are just a few of the fascinating aeronautics and aerospace reseach exeriments conducted at DLR_School_Lab Oberpfaffenhofen. More (German only)...

DLR_School_Lab TU Dortmund"Chaos in the Solar System", "Robotics and Virtual Worlds", "The Road Vehicles of the Future" – These are just a few of the subjects dealt with at DLR_School_Lab TU Dortmund. Here children and young people turn into researchers and explorers by carrying out various experiments themselves and by informally learning under expert guidance.

DLR_School_Lab TU Hamburg-HarburgWhy does a bird have to flap its wings? And why shouldn't an airplane do it? How can it be avoided? Where does turbine noise come from and how can it be kept out of the cabin? How many boreholes are there in an Airbus, who makes them all, how is it done, and why? These are the kinds of questions you can tackle experimentally at DLR_School_Lab TU Hamburg-Harburg.More (German only)...
